"This part of the forest is filled with the colony of Murkrow and Honchkrow," Bluebell said as she led the gang down a dirt path leading into a darker forest area.

"I don't see any pokemon at all," Jennifer stated, looking around at the empty trees.

"Yeah, me either or hear anything," Roy said.

"Cro!" A cry was heard from above.

They looked up to see Ace flying towards them and landing on Jennifer's arm as she lifted it out, seeing Ace.

"Ace, did you spot anything?" Jennifer asked, looking at Ace.

"Croling," Ace replied, shaking his head, saying no, he didn't find anything.

"Not a thing, huh?" Jennifer said."So is that leg of yours feeling any better?" She asked.

"Cro," Ace said happily with a nod.

"That's great. Does that mean you take one more look around?" Jennifer asked.

"Croling!" Ace cried out happily, pumping his chest out proudly, before flying off to look around the forest.

"Good luck Ace," Jennifer said, watching Ace fly on off.

Meanwhile, deeper inside of forest...

A group of greenish avian pokemon with blue and pink markings on their bodies. Their head and upper body are primarily red with a "V" shaped pattern over their white chest. On their forehead are fluffy white feathers. They had small red eyes with white pupils and a long black needle beak with a pink tip. On the back of the head is a tuft of white feathers connected to the forehead ones. The lower halves of the puffing are blue and have pink and blue ribbon-looking tail. As well as tiny black talon feet.

They were seen flying through a narrow trench past rocky cliffs.

"Rock!" A mighty loud cry was heard from above, catching the flying Pokemon's attention.

A brown and grey mild, height, and buffy feline Pokemon with black stripes and sharp claws glared down at them with its narrow yellow eyes.

"Humxie!" The bird Pokemon cried out as the feline jumped down, chasing them, growling

"Ti!" It growled loudly, showing its teeth.

"Hum!" They cried out as they were sent flying into a large gate, sending them into a large gate in the hole and smacked them into a cage.

"Bingo," A woman with shoulder-length orange hair and purple eyes said, laughing."Another set of primo Pokemon in the cage," She said.

"And since every flying type Pokemon has to travel through this trench to get where they're going, it's the perfect place to set up a trap," A man with short green hair and light green eyes wearing a yellow kepi hat stated.

"Yes, the building is a trap here was nothing but an idea, " Anna said.

"Yea, and having Tirock chase them into the cage works like a charm," Robert commented, looking up at Tigock on the cliff watching below.

"Agree," Anna smiled.

~~~

Ace was seen flying in the sky when he spotted below a small group of Taillow and flew off them.

"Ti!" Tirock growled, jumping down and swiping a claw at Ace and the other bird Pokemon.

"Cro!" Ace cried out, flying away, and then freaked out when he and the Tailow smacked into a cage.

"You guys aren't going anywhere, " Robert said, laughing, shutting the cage. "Soon, you're going to get shipped to the boss, and soon we're going to be getting a promotion, " He stated.

Robert continues laughing at the bird Pokemon situation.

~~~

Meanwhile, back with Bluebell and the others...

Jennifer was seen sitting on the ground with her legs crossed. As Bluebell, Diamond, Roy, and Oswald we're standing next to a cliff with, Bluebell is looking for the Pokemon with her binoculars.

"I hope that Ace is doing okay, "Jennifer said, getting worried.

"Meow," Starla said, now back kit her Pokemon a bit calmer now.

"Ace has been gone for a long time now," Diamond commented, just as worried as Jennifer.

"You know, maybe I shouldn't have asked Ace to take another look around after getting hurt training," Jennifer said, looking down at the ground.

"Hey, don't worry, his leg wasn't even a bad injury," Oswald stated."So I wouldn't worry so much. "

"But it is taking Ace a long time, "Jennifer said. "Something terrible must of happened to him."

"I think I have an idea of what is going on," Bluebell said putting, remove g the binoculars from her eyes.

"Huh?" The four trainers asked, looking over at Bluebell.

"That area up there is called the gliding valley, " Bluebell said, pointing up ahead. "All the Pokemon that fly use it to travel, while the other Pokemon use a different path, "She explained.

"We better go take a look," Jennifer said, narrowing her eyes. "Ace might be in some kind of trouble."

"Meowth!" Starla said, looking up at Jennifer.

"I believe you might be right, Jennifer, " Bluebell said. "Let's go, " She said.

"Alright, we're coming, Ace, " Jennifer said, determined to save her flying-type Pokemon.

~~~

Meanwhile, back with Ace and the other flying Pokemon...

"Croling, " Ace said, walking over to a Natu.

"Natu?" The Natu questioned.

"Na, Natu, Nat, " The Natu said as the other bird pokemon gathered around listening.

"Cro, cooling!"

Meanwhile elsewhere...

Anna was sitting back in a green folded chair next to a large-looking black van with a golden circle and black 'S' painted in the circle's center.

"Robert, is our collection restless? Anna asked.

"There definitely not too happy, but as long as there caged up, they're not going anywhere, " Robert said.

"We should get ready to get going soon, " Anna said. "Robert, get them loaded."

"Fine, but don't expect me to do all the work next time, "Robert muttered.

"Of excuse me, this was my plan, " Anna stated with narrow eyes.

From the cliff above... "

"Who are those two? " Bluebell asked, looking at Anna and Robert down below through her binoculars.

"We don't know for sure their names are Anna and Robert through, " Jennifer replied.

"Oh no, they caught that Swablu, " Bluebell said, looking at a Swanlu stuck in the gate above the hole.

"Quick, Starla, help that Swablu, " Jennifer said.

"Meow, " Starla cried out, running down the cliff and quickly freeing the Swablu before the gate slammed down.

Swablu flew over towards them, with Starla following.

"You're going to be fine, " Bluebell said as Swablu landed before Jennifer.

Starla ran back toward Jennifer's leg and sat down, looking back at the gate.

"So there behind the disappears of the flying type pokemon, " Roy stated.

"What kind of people are they?" Bluebell asked.

"Sh, "Jennifer said. "Something is coming, " She said, looking up at the cliff above.

"What do you mean? " Diamond asked.

"I feel something coming, and it doesn't feel friendly, " Jennifer said.

"What is?" Oswald asked.

"Person or Pokemon?"Roy asked.

"You know what she means? " Diamond asked.

"Not the first time she felt something. It has happened a few times now since her sixth birthday, the day Starla was attacked, but then it stopped. Everyone figures it was probably a sense of fear for Starla's safety in case an attack happened again or fear of her being attacked, " Roy said.

"Enough; you know I hate thinking about that day, " Jennifer clutched her face fighting the memory, trying to surface.

Everyone then heard a growl and looked up to see the Tigrock glaring at the gate and then looking at the humans on the other side.

"Swablu, go gather the other flying types to help destroy the net, and you four free the pokemon, " She said, looking at Swablu and then the other four humans with her.

"What are you planning to do?" Diamond asked.

"I'm going to stop dealing with that pokemon, " Jennifer climbing down and getting ready to make her way over to the Tigrock.

"Be safe, Starla, protect; please, for once, don't let your hatred for humans stop you, " Roy said, not wanting anything to happen to his beast friend.

"Meow, " Starla cried out, looking at Roy and then at Jennifer for a moment until she nodded.

"Thank you, Starla. Let's go, " Roy said quietly as then snuck past Anna and toward where Robert went.

***

Jennifer and made it to the top of the cliff, where the feline was growling at her.

"What is that? " She held out her pokedex.

"Tigrock, The Rock Tiger pokemon. A rock type. Tigrock is the evolved form of Tigpeb. Its hard rock body protects it from many dangerous situations. This pokemon excels at physical combat and will challenge anyone in its territory. Most trainers have trouble training this pokemon once it evolves. "

"A Tigrock, "Jennifer said, reaching for her belt."This is a job for you, Sage!" She said, sending out Treecoon.

"Tree!" Treecoon cried, coming out of his Pokeball.

"You again, " Anna said, walking up behind Tigrock. "You might be my Psymo, but you don't have a chance against my newest member Psymo but Tigrock has been around since I was your age. He destroyed you and your pokemon, "She smirked.

"We won't go down easily, " Jennifer commented. "I don't know who two are or what you are planning, but you won't get away from the flying pokemon!" She stated, clenching her fist.

"Kid, if you somehow survive, I will tell you who we are, "Anna said. "Tigrock Crush Claw!"

"Rock!" Tigrock cried out, running towards Sage.

"Sage dodge, then Bullet Seed!"

"Coon!" Sage jumped in the air and fired a Bullet seed down at Tigrock's back.

"Tig," Tigrock cried out, shaking off the attack.

"That won't do anything now. Once again, Crush Claw!"

"Tigrock!"

Tigrock ran towards Sage as he landed on the ground, swiping its claw at Sage, sending him flying back and landing next to Jennifer's feet.

"Sage!" Jennifer shouted, worried.

"Tree," Sage said, getting on up and looking at Jennifer.

"Alright, let's do this, Vine Whip!"

"Tree!" Treecoon cried out, sending vines toward Tigrock

"You are ignoring kid; give it up. You don't stand a chance, " Anna mocked. "Tigrock Bite!"

"Rock!"Tigrick cried out, clamping its teeth on the vines and swinging them with its mouth, tossing Sage into the air.

"Sage! " Jennifer exclaimed.

"Meow!" Starla cried out.

"Tree!" Sage cried, using bullet seed to land safely.

"Starla, you are cheering on Sage, " Jennifer commented

"Tigrock, finish this with Crush claw!" Anna commanded.

"Rock! " Tigrock cried out, running towards Sage, but then suddenly stopped hearing a noise.

Everyone looked up to see a swarm of bird pokemon destroying the gate above the hole.

"Ugh," Anna groaned."Tigrock Crush Claw now!"

"Tig!" Tigrock cried out, running towards Sage.

"Vine Whip!"

"Treecoon!" Sage cried out and grabbed grabbing Tigrock's paw stopping the attack.

"Anna, let's go!"Robert yelled, ruining getting inside the truck.

"Since you didn't win, you don't get to know anything about us, but we will probably meet again, " Anna said, returning Tigrock and sliding down and getting in the van as Robert sped off.

Jennifer sighed, seeing them driving off, but her attention was brought to a glowing light.

"Meow," Starla cried out, pointing at Jennifer's bag.

Jenifer unzipped her bag and saw her egg glowing bright white, signaling it was hatching time. She then saw a cute purple bunny appear in the place of the egg.

"Bunluv, " It said cutely.

Jennifer took out her pokedex and scanned her new pokemon.

"Bunluv, the Love Bunny Pokemon.A Fairy-type pokemon. This pokemon is very affectionate, but don't get fooled entirely by that. It sometimes uses its cuteness to steal food from pokemon or humans. "

"Wow, your egg hatched into a Bunluv, " Roy said, looking at the new pokemon.

"Yeah, " Jennifer said, tapping a premier ball on its forehead, catching Bunluv."Needs a nickname still, but I'll figure that out as we continue our travel."

"A premier ball, "Diamond said.

"Yeah, my Father gave it to me a day before my egg as a gift, so I decided to use it, " Jennifer said, returning to Sage.

"Thank you. Now the forest is safe from those guys, " Bluebell said.

"It was no trouble, " Roy said. "We should get going. "

"The cave is just up ahead from here, "Bluebell said, pointing your forward.

"Alright, let's go, " Jennifer said as she and the others waved goodbye and continued on their journey.

However, they were unaware that up above, a woman in her early 20s with purple eyes and blonde curly hair reaching down her chin was watching them. She wore a red cap with whistles and a mini dress with a red "R" on it.

"Well, that Mantegna hair girl is quite impressive. She could be a nice addition to the organization, " She commented. "I should tell the boss about it after this mission. Especially with how she took out that agent, it seems the organizations of Sola Region actively increased well; that won't stop me, " She said, taking off as she watched the gang leave.
